Dr Nikola Mongey
Clinical Psychologist & CBT Therapist
Through my years of experience in working therapeutically, I have developed skills in different therapeutic modalities including narrative, trauma focused, attachment-based and systemic approaches alongside my well-grounded experience in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I am thoughtful about how wider contextual and relational issues may impact on individual therapy and work holistically to promote people’s well-being. I tailor my therapeutic approach to individual’s needs, whilst collaboratively exploring their goals and wishes for therapy.
​
I qualified as a Clinical Psychologist from Royal Holloway University of London in 2024, and am HCPC registered (PYL044893). I am also a fully (BABCP) accredited Cognitive and Behavioural Therapist (998543). In my clinical practice, I have had the privilege of supporting children and young people with diverse needs for many years, including care-experienced young people and unaccompanied asylum-seeking minors, as well as those struggling with a variety of difficulties, such as anxiety, depression, phobias, low self-esteem, OCD and trauma. I have worked with individuals and families across mental health services, including adult crisis services, inpatient settings, and adults with learning disabilities. I have also been part of specialist national and local services providing mental health assessments, therapy and consultation for traumatised children and young people, as well as parents, carers and professionals supporting them.

Clinical interests
Throughout my career, I have predominantly worked in mental health services aimed at supporting children and young people. Because of this, I hold a holistic lens when working therapeutically, which includes viewing person’s difficulties within the context of all aspects of their lives and relationship, whether they are children, young people, or adults. I am equally interested in continuing to work therapeutically with children and adolescents, as well as further build upon my experience of working with adults.
It is common to need support with mental health and wellbeing, and therapy can be helpful whether you are hoping to work on a particular difficulty affecting your quality of life, or to help you understand more about yourself and your experiences. Whatever your hopes for therapy, I strongly value an authentic therapeutic relationship and creating a safe space, where one can feel understood, listened to and supported.
